How is a redox reaction identified?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By simultaneous oxidation and reduction
In a redox reaction, oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. Oxidation involves loss of electrons or addition of oxygen, whereas reduction involves gain of electrons or removal of oxygen. The formation of a precipitate or a gas alone is not a definite indication of a redox reaction.
